Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

Although Madara was the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, he awakened his Sharingan much later than others.

[Let's start with Itachi Uchiha. When Itachi was on a mission with his comrades, Obito appeared and killed his comrades, causing Itachi to awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan at the age of eight.]

After witnessing the death of his friend Shisui at the age of twelve, Itachi successfully evolved his Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Konoha Training Ground.

Sasuke looked at the sky, his fists slightly clenched, feeling a little resentful. What was he doing when he was eight years old?

While he was learning the Three Body Techniques at the Ninja Academy, Itachi had already awakened his Sharingan on the battlefield.

The gap does exist, and it is quite large.

The Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village.

The Fourth Raikage, A, snorted coldly, his apprehension towards the Uchiha clan deepening once again.

"Eight years old with two tomoe, twelve years old with the Mangekyou Sharingan—the Uchiha clan was indeed a threat to the ninja world! Thankfully, they were wiped out!"

hope whispered a reminder from the side.

"Lord Raikage, there are still three Uchiha alive... Obito, Itachi, and Sasuke."

Ai: "...Then that's even more of a headache."

In Kirigakure, Mei Terumi shook her head, her tone tinged with envy.

"Awakening the double tomoe at the age of eight... the Mangekyou Sharingan at twelve, if such talent were in Kirigakure, they would probably have been hailed as the village's hope long ago."

[Obito Uchiha awakened his Sharingan at the age of twelve. During the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Kakashi was careless and had his eye slashed by an enemy. This incident spurred Obito to awaken his two-tomoe Sharingan.]

About three or four months later, Obito witnessed Rin's death.

At this moment, both he and Kakashi awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan, and Obito immediately gained the ability to Hollowfication.

Kakashi, lacking knowledge of the Uchiha clan's bloodline and needing time to adapt to the Sharingan, awakened his abilities later than Obito.

The scene cuts in.

In the rain, Kakashi's Lightning Blade pierced through Rin's chest.

Obito stood under a tree in the distance, the two tomoe in his eyes spinning rapidly, transforming into a kaleidoscope pattern shaped like a sickle.

...

Inside the Kamui dimension, Obito's exposed eye watched the image of Rin collapsing on the sky.

Kaminari, Rin, Kakashi.

He dreams of these scenes every time he has a dream.

Next up is Uchiha Shisui, who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan around the age of ten to thirteen.

Near the Uchiha tribe.

Shisui himself was slightly taken aback when he saw himself reflected in the sky.

Do you have your own things to do?

But... in the end, this power couldn't change anything.

In Iwagakure Village, Onoki stroked his beard, sighing with emotion.

"Awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan at just over ten years old... Shisui's talent is comparable to Itachi and Obito. It's a pity he was too stubborn. He was tricked by Danzo but didn't fight back, instead running off to commit suicide without a word. If he had been even slightly more ruthless, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been wiped out. However, this also proves the capabilities of Konoha's higher-ups. To be able to drive such a genius to suicide is quite an achievement."

[Regarding Sasuke's path to awakening his Sharingan, that needs to be discussed in detail.]

From age seven to sixteen, Sasuke's journey to awakening his Sharingan was neither long nor short.

However, compared to other Uchiha, his awakening process was indeed quite slow.

[With her entire clan wiped out, her parents dead, and her brother torturing her by dragging her into Tsukuyomi, any other Uchiha would probably have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan on the spot.]

However, Sasuke only activated a single tomoe.

Under the sky, countless people wore subtle expressions.

[Fourth Raikage A: He only activated his single tomoe after his entire clan was wiped out? Is this kid's mental fortitude too good?]

[Kuroto: So he suppressed his pain? Or was he simply unaware of how much pain he was in?]

The scene continues.

For the next few years, Sasuke's progress in awakening his Sharingan lagged behind others.

At the age of twelve, in the Land of Waves, she awakened a double tomoe (two-tomoe gem) to protect Naruto.

[During the Chunin Exams, his other eye also evolved into a double-tomoe eye.]

[At the Valley of the End, during the battle with Naruto, both of his eyes simultaneously evolved into three-tomoe gems.]

When Sasuke turned sixteen, the truth was revealed, and Sasuke finally broke down.

At that moment, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan awakened.

Konoha Training Ground.

Uchiha Sasuke was somewhat puzzled.

Why is it that my future self can activate the kaleidoscope when she hears the truth, but my present self can't?

I was clearly angry when Tianmu explained the reason before!

Akatsuki's stronghold.

Itachi looked at the image of Sasuke activating his Mangekyou Sharingan on the sky, his expression complex.

He waited so many years just to let Sasuke open these eyes.

But seeing Sasuke's broken state, he felt no relief as he had expected.

[Finally, Madara only awakened his Sharingan at the age of fifteen. Living in the Warring States period, Madara was accustomed to the fighting and killing on the battlefield from a young age, so he was completely unmoved by the death of his comrades.]

On the contrary, his friendship with Hashirama severely provoked him. Upon learning that Hashirama was a member of the Senju clan and would soon be his adversary, Madara, having lost his friendship, activated his single tomoe.

Konoha Training Ground.

Naruto's eyes widened as he looked at Sasuke.

"Madara didn't awaken his Sharingan until he was fifteen?! That's so much later than you, Sasuke!"

Sasuke frowned, his mind racing with calculations.

He didn't open a single tomoe until he was fifteen, but Madara eventually became the Asura of the ninja world.

I had three tomoe at thirteen and a kaleidoscope at sixteen...

Doesn't that mean my talent is no less than Madara Uchiha's?

In the Hokage Building, Jiraiya stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"He only awakened his Sharingan at the age of fifteen, but eventually became the strongest Uchiha in the ninja world. It seems that the potential of the Sharingan does not depend on when it is awakened, but on subsequent accumulation."

At the Akatsuki headquarters, Obito watched the image of Madara opening his eyes on the sky, his lips twitching slightly beneath his mask.

Madara... didn't awaken his Sharingan until he was fifteen?

Between the ages of eighteen and twenty, Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha simultaneously awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, the earlier one awakens their Mangekyou Sharingan, the greater the harm. Itachi awakened it too early, which led to his premature death due to a bloodline disorder in his prime, causing him to cough up blood year-round.

[The kaleidoscope takes a huge toll on the body; opening it too early will be too much for the body to handle.]

Under the sky, everyone suddenly realized.

[Fourth Raikage A: So, awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan late actually leads to longer lifespans? Madara didn't awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan until he was twenty, which is why he had no illnesses and lived so long?]

[Mei Terumi: Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Mangekyou Sharingan is incredibly taxing on the body. Itachi awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at twelve, essentially starting to overdraw his life force from childhood. Madara, on the other hand, had already reached full physical maturity when he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, so he could naturally withstand the strain.]

[Kurotsuchi: So, Madara and Sasuke awakening their Sharingan later was actually an advantage?]
